sluglord Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm trying to salvage a cracked johnny rat, the crack is in the back of the front portion of the bait, I,ve tried to seal it with some epoxy but it keeps getting broken, i know this might not be the right place to ask but i thought some of SU brightest builders might be able to save my rat before i lose hope. lendaCew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willluvstafish Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm surprised the epoxy didn't work. I had a WSB 175 that split and I filled it with Devcon 2 ton epoxy and it's held fast for 2 years and a few fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 If it has water in it it may need to dry for a while before you can fix it. Superglue is great for sealing wood. Then you can put epoxy over that. brushhawg1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Bendhard Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I've remedied this problem many times with super glue. Just make sure you dry that sucker out first brushhawg1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Agreed with Mason and Garret...make sure the bait is completely dry inside and out before applying a fix. I'd wait a good week or two if you're air drying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
